Epoxy flake flooring has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the epoxy flooring industry in recent years, with an influx of suppliers and installers joining the market. These decorative floors offer an almost endless array of colours and style options to improve aesthetics over more traditional single-colour floor coatings.
Previously, epoxy flake or vinyl flake flooring was limited to greys, blacks, whites and pastel tones. Today, a vibrant and diverse range of colours has entered the market, opening the door to more creative, functional, and stylish flooring solutions.
How to Get a Flake Floor Epoxy Finish That Lasts
Many flake systems are aimed at the DIY market—which may be suitable for light-use areas—but for long-term performance and a seamless, professional finish, Ascoat offers a full installation service. With over 30 years of experience in resin flooring across commercial and industrial environments, we’ve seen how the right epoxy with flakes can transform a space both visually and functionally.
Where Can Epoxy Flake Flooring Be Used?
More and more of our clients are turning to decorative epoxy flake flooring to enhance non-production spaces in manufacturing and industrial facilities. Thanks to its hygienic, easy-to-clean, and non-slip characteristics, flake flooring is also ideal for facilities like dairy production sites, abattoirs, and bakeries, where safety, presentation, and cleanliness are essential. We can also install epoxy flake floors to coves and skirtings for a seamless, fully integrated finish.
Common areas include:
- Amenities and bathrooms
- Lunchrooms and breakout spaces
- Production offices
- Reception and waiting areas
The Benefits of Epoxy Decorative Flakes
Beyond appearance, epoxy flake floors deliver lasting durability, hygiene and safety. Some key benefits include:
- A wide variety of colour blends and finishes
- Excellent resistance to wear and chemicals
- Easy-to-maintain surfaces that stay cleaner for longer
- Custom finishes that reflect your brand or workspace aesthetic
- Improved slip resistance and hygiene compliance
Whether you’re after a modern, vibrant look or something subtle and professional, epoxy decorative flakes allow for near-endless design flexibility without compromising on durability.
What Makes a Long-Lasting Epoxy Flake Floor?
At Ascoat, we work with the best materials to ensure long-lasting results. We purchase our flakes from Vinyl Flakes Australia and carefully select resin components from our trusted, high-quality suppliers.
As with any industrial flooring project, success comes down to:
- Proper substrate preparation
- Correct repairs and priming of the surface
- Using materials backed by reputable suppliers
Why We Recommend a Four-Coat Epoxy Chip Flooring System
Speed often leads to shortcuts, and in resin flooring, that can mean compromised durability. For optimal results, we recommend a full four-layer flake flooring system:
- Primer: Prepares and seals the substrate
- Base coat: Provides adhesion and colour base
- Flake application: Broadcasts decorative flakes evenly
- Two UV-stable clear topcoats: Locks in the finish and protects against wear and yellowing
This approach ensures your epoxy flake floors remain visually appealing and hard-wearing for years to come. Whether you’re upgrading a lunchroom or designing a hygienic, low-maintenance reception area, our team can help you achieve a durable and stylish finish that suits your space and industry requirements.
